South Bend Civic Theatre opens its 2012 season on a high note with the Midwest premiere of Blue, directed by special guest Ron OJ Parson, running January 20th - February 6th. Written by Charles Randolph-Wright with original music by Grammy winner Nona Hendryx, Blue tells the story of the well-to-do Clark family in all their dysfunctional glory. A clan whose success is built on a thriving funeral home business, the Clark family is a bundle of contradictions: diligent hard-working Samuel maintaining the family business; his mother Tillie, as downhome and brutally honest as they come; his sons, Sam and Reuben, trying to find their own way
out of the mess; and ruling the roost is his wife Peggy, whose aspirations for class and style push the family bonds to the breaking point. Her only refuge in the turmoil is the music of her idol Blue Williams, who haunts the play with his voice and presence, turning music into memory and who holds the key to the problems of the family.
